“Life with Kelly Khumalo was a major success at the recently-held SAFTAs and we are excited that this reality show will premiere on Mzansi Magic this July,” says Nomsa Philiso, the Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net, “Our viewers should expect a dose of family drama, tell-all friendships and intriguing career moves – which are a recipe of a compelling reality TV show – as Kelly tells her story her way,” Philiso concludes.
In the first season, Kelly also finds herself having to decide whether or not to reach out to the family of her son, Christian, to try and ensure that he has a relationship with his father, and having to decide whether or not to give in to her inquisitive daughter Thingo, who has been asking about the identity of her father. Kelly also has to balance this with her rocky relationship with her sister.
